Fat Quarter Log Cabin

Marti Michell

Unlike scrap Log Cabin quilts that feature a different

fabric in every strip of a block, this scrap

Log Cabin quilt depends on orderly repetition of

fabrics within each block. In this charming scrap quilt only a center square and four other fabrics appear in each block. Quilt size 84” square

Supplies:

 BASIC SEWING SUPPLIES

Fabrics for 4 blocks:

 One dark fat quarter

 One light fat quarter

 Two medium fat quarters

 8” square fabric for block centers, or 1/2

yard if you want all 36 centers to match.

The above set of fabrics creates your first four

blocks. You will need 9 sets to complete the

quilts 36 blocks.

The trick to this quilt is in selecting the fabrics. Choose four compatible fat quarters using value as your guide. The dark fabric will alternate with a medium and the light will alternate with the other medium.

Fabrics needed to finish quilt:

 1 5/8 yard for border and matching binding

 5 yards backing fabric

 Batting, larger than 86” square
